GARMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. S, 1921.

Application led December 17, 1919. Serial No. 345,542.

Be it known that we, MAX PUGATSKY and ROBERT D. VON RnN'rsoH, both citizens of the United States, and residents of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Garments, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to garments and more particularly to the edging and lining construction of a garment which may be employed in edging coats, vests, trousers, skirts or any other garment, the object of the invention being to employ an edging or braid member which preferably has an edge rib and connecting the same, together with a lining, to the edge of the garment in such a manner that the seams by which the edging and the lining members are connected to the garment are notevisible, as will be hereinafter more particularly described.

In the drawingr'Figu're 1 is an elevation and partial cross section illustrating the inner edge portion of the garment in which our invention is incorporated.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section on line 2 2, Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a fragmentary cross section illustrating a modified form of the invention, onlythat portion being shown wherein the construction shown in Fig.2 is modified.`

Fig. 4 is also a fragmentary cross' section illustrating a further modification of the in* vention., only that portion being shown wherein the construction shown in Fig. 2 is modified, and

Fig. 5 is a plan of a form of the lining in which the braid'or beaded member is attached theretoy before being secured to the fabric of the garment.

Referring to the drawing and particularly to Figs. 1 and 2 thereof, in carrying out this invention together with the fabric of which the garment is made. this fabric being indicated at 10 and having an inturned edge 11, we employ a lining which is composed of a stifl'ening member 12 made of canvas, duck, or any other similar material and provided with a suitable covering, as hereinafter described, together with a braid or edging which is connected tothe fabric of the garment and the lining as also hereinafter described. Y v

As illustrated in these figures, the lower edge of. the stening member 12 is provided with a cover 13 and also with the lining member proper as indicated at 14. This lining member proper includes a skirt 15 and a loop 16 and is suilicientl)Y wide to eX- tend beyond the opposite edge of the stiifening member. The stiffening member 12, together with the cover 13 andthe skirt poi` tion 15 of the lining are securedtogether by a line of stitching indicated at 17, the loop member 16, as will be understood, being formed to cover this line of stitching 17 so that the same is not visible from the inner side of the garment, the loop 16 being` formed by turning back the lining member 14 over the stitching after these parts have been so connected. Y

The braid or edging member preferably comprises a body portion ,18 and an edge bead 19, shown in the drawings as a finished edge of a braid, but it is to be understood that other forms of edging membersmight readily be used, such as a doubled piece of material which may orY may not have a cord passed between the doubled portions of the same to form an enlarged 4edge such as is shown at 19. This braid is secured in position by placing the samefon:A the fabric of the garment and placing the'overlying edges of the lining 14 and thev stiffening member 12 on the. braid andI connecting these parts by a line of stitching indicated at 22. Then so connected, the fabric 10 is overturned so as to provide the inturned end 11- thereof, and the stilfening member 12 and the lining member' 14 are also overturned so as to pro'- vide the inturned end 20 of the lining member 14 and the inturned end 21of the stiftening member 12, which, as will be understood, entirely7 ineloses and conceal the line of stitching 22 by which these parts are connected, the seam or line of stitching 22 being so placed that when the parts are overturned, as hereinbefore described, the-rib or head 19 on the edging or braid will extend an appreciable distance beyond the overturned ends of the fabric of the garment and the lining therefor'7 as clearly indicated at Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing. With the parts so connected and the lining, as hereinbefore described, being turned down against the inner face of the fabric 10, the lining is connected in position b v turning back the skirt 15 and running a line of stitching 23 through the fabric 10 and the cover 13 and the stiffening member 12, which line of stitching, as will be understood is subse quently covered and concealed `trom view by the skirt 15.

By positioning the edging member so that the same projects appreciably above the edge of the garment, the edging member eiffectually conceals from view the lining let when the latter rides up above the edge of the garment as it frequently does in use. While it is not essential that the edging member be provided with the edge bead. as shown at 19, it should be noted that this bead serves the dual function of concealing the lining member and also ot' preventing the latter from riding up above the edge of the garment, it being noted that the bead slightly overlies the upper edge `of the lining member.

By reference to Fig. 3, it will be seen that instead of making the cover 13 and the lining member 14 in two parts, these may be made of one piece of material b y suitably folding the same as indicated at 24; or as shown in Fig. 4 the cover member 1 3 may be entirely dispensed with and the edge of the lining member as indicated a-t'25 may be made to come substantially flush with the edge of the stiffening member 12, as indicated at 26. Obviously also, other and equivalent forms of the invention may be used.

By reference to Fig. 5, it Will be seen that in carrying out the invention, instead of simultaneously attaching the braid or edging member to the fabric of the garment and to lthe lining member, the lining may be made to include this braid or edging member by having the same secured thereto by a line of stitching indicated at 27. In this instance as will be understood, the lining with the braid or edging attached thereto is `secured to the fabric body of the material in substantially the same Way as that hereinbefore described, but with an additional line of stitching which is substantially coincident with the line of stitching by which the braid or edging member is secured to lthe 'li-ning member, both the lines of stitching being concealed when the partsy are secured to the body of the garment and overturned as hereinbefore described.

In applying the .Waist band construction shown 'in Fig. 5 to ar garment the line of stitching 27 serves as a guide, and the operator in running the stitching which secures the Waist band Vto the garment should run this last mentioned line of .stitching along a kline coincident with the stitching .27. When the Vlining-is applied .to the garment in -fthis manner and the `lining construe tion over turned, the edging member will project the desired distance above the edge of the garment.

"lhe waist band or -lining construction shown in Fig. '5, and shown in Fig. 2 as applied to a garment, and also the modifications shown in Figs. 3 and 4, may be manufactured in large quantities and sold, in roll or other form, as a unitary structure to the manufacturer who is thus saved the tedious and difficult duty of assembling the Waistband sections in applying the Waist-band to the trousers or other garment.

le claim as our invention:
